2. Heather has made a student version. Available on moodle.
3. Jim met with Deb Brown about incorporating the writing rubric into writing tutor training which, by the way, is a two unit class. She is ready to go. Possibly a little bit of training in the winter and then infused into the next writing tutor class. This was reported.
4. The committee will undergo a norming session under the direction of Kristin. The committee had a vigorous discussion as we “normed”. Changes to the rubric where suggested. There was mostly agreement within one spacing for the rubric categories. Hart took some notes for the changes.
Nothing else was considered.
